[cobirds] Flammulated Owl in yard

   COBirders, since Mary Kay Waddington encouraged me, I have added Flammulated Owl to Bryan Guarente’s list. I had the great pleasure to have a mated pair fly in and perch on our cabin deck railing, about eight feet from where I was sitting. I heard a soft vocalization and turned my head slowly to see them clearly. After a few minutes they flew off into the oncoming dusk. I was able to I.D. them easily since only a few days before I had seen a Flam being rehabbed at the Pueblo Nature Center. This took place in the summer of 1972 or ’73 at the end of Custer County Road 182R at 9,200 ft.
